Iphoto can not recognize volume..

hello there, I searched this community for this question, but the asker had different problems, so I am asking for help.
Just recently, this last few weeks, iPhoto began displaying a strange message : "iphoto cannot recognize volume of [followed by photo title]"
The image becomes a problem once I click on it in iPhoto, and so dragging the picture out to send to somebody is now impossible.
I can not figure out why this has happened.
Can somebody help please?
Many thanks.

hi there, thank you for replying.
Strange thing happened since I posted this. Not sure what to do.
iPhoto has completely been erased of photos.
Very upset at this.
- To answer your first question I believe Yes, as when I import new from digital camera there seemed another place photos would import to unless I dragged the camera icon into selected or New Album.
- To answer your second question I open iPhoto from its position in the dock.

  • IPhoto 5 can not recognize Panasonic G1 RAW files.

    I learned by an unfortunate experience that the iPhoto libraries are very sensitive. I have thousands of photos in these libraries, all backed up. I never upgraded from iPhoto 5, which came bundled with this Mac. I now have the Panasonic DMC-G1 digital camera. This camera is supposed to be compatible with iPhoto. iPhoto 5 can upload only jpegs but not the RAW images.
    I once read where someone upgraded only to find a new iPhoto version could not recognize their old libraries. I don't want to mess with the these libraries and so I'd like to keep iPhoto 5 functioning.
    Question: In order to get the newest version of iPhoto do I need to purchase iLife?
    Question: Can I leave iPhoto 5 installed AND install a newer version that will be compatible with my Panasonic G1?

    Newer versions of iPhoto (particularly iPhoto '09) are more stable and have more recovery features than iPhoto 5 does
    In general if you stay out of the iPhoto library you will not have problems - although computers do fail and the backups are important (I have several backups including a daily clone, Time Machine and periodic backups to DVD )

    While someone may have had this problem, it is not normal nor is it common - the general case is that libraries upgrade flawlessly and the vast majority of people find that after an upgrade their libraries are identical to the way they were before the upgrade
    Question: In order to get the newest version of iPhoto do I need to purchase iLife?
    Yes
    Question: Can I leave iPhoto 5 installed AND install a newer version that will be compatible with my Panasonic G1?
    Yes - but it is easy to mess things up with multiple versions running and it would be very complicated to have your new photos in one library and your olds one in a different library (different versions of iPhoto can not access the same library)
    I do not keep old versions of iPhoto - Old Toad does - if you want to do that ask here and he can advise on how to accomplish it and teh issues to watch for

    I am trying to copy photos from an iPad to a Mac Air, but iPhoto does not recognize them. Please forgive the ignorance, but we have just started moving to apple products and I know nothing about them. Do you have to use PhotoStream to do this?

    How did the photos that you want to copy off get on the iPad  ? To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a Mac you should be able to use iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • I want to get a Nikon D3100, but my macbook has OS 10.5.5 on it and I've read that the D3100 needs at least 10.6.5. What will happen if I try to use this camera with my computer? Will iPhoto simply not recognize it or will I get distorted pictures, or..?

    Nikon say that you need 10.6.5+ for the latest firmware, although I don't see why.
    Thanks for that! I was looking for that manual, but for some reason, couldn't find it.
    I guess I'll have to contact Nikon and find out what the real story is. The camera was introduced in '08 or '09, so I'm wondering why you'd need software as recent as 10.6.5??
    Still very confusing.  :-?
    Why does it state that the camera is compatible with "10.4.11, 10.5.8..."? Does that mean that anything between 4.11 and 5.8 is incompatible???
    BTW, I tried downloading the 10.5.8 combo update recently and got an error message that the update was "corrupted" after it was all downloaded, so I was not able to install that.

  • IPhoto does not recognize old backup of library

    I have a iPhoto library backup disk (dvd) that dates back to 2006. Iphoto does not recognize the photos and they will not open. How do I get to see the photo's?
    Iphoto 11
    iMac 2.4 ghz intel core duo
    OS 10.6.8

    The only thing I can think of is that the Library is corrupted in some way. Unusual that the main computer can access it - though it rebuilds the thumbs each time, whiile the other two cannot. I suspect that the permissions warnings are bogus.
    Neither of the other machines would be able to read that library without updating it, and in fact, once the 9.5.1 version updates it, the 9.4.3 version wouldn't  be able to read it either.
    But either way, each library should ask to upgrade it upon opening, that the don't suggests that the Library is damaged.
    You need to decide what version you want to want to view this library with - as you can't view it with either of the other two once you upgrade it. Then from that machine rebuild the Library with iPhoto Library Manager.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • My iphoto will not recognize my iPhone 5c

    My iphoto will not recognize my iPhone 5c, therefore I can't import any of my pictures.
    I read that it could be the cable do I went out and bought another but it is still not working?
    Neither itunes nor iphoto open when I plug in my phone, however when I open up itunes manually, it recognizes it. Any suggestions?

    Launch iTunes, then connect your iPhone to USB. The iPhone will prompt you, if you trust this computer. Confirm that you trust it.
    Then try again to import to Photos.
    If "trust" was not the reason, try a different USB port on your computer.

  • TS3988 I have no trouble with email but IPhoto will not recognize my server when I try to send a photo to a friend. Anyone else have this probelm ...a solution??? N

    I can email but IPhoto does not recognize my server to enable me to send email photos. Any advice?  N

    I've been having this problem too, but here's the catch: originally it was only with my dad, and only sometimes.  Now it's dad and husband, every time!  Pix go through, via imessage, to everyone else, and they go through to dad/husband if I "send as text" after it fails. 
    And the other annoying thing- the blue bar will run all the way, and it will say "delivered".  So I close out of imessage. When I reopen it again, the "delivered" has changed to "not delivered" with the red exclamation point.  I just googled "imessage not sending photos" and founds TONS of people with the same problem, but no solutions.  (I have rebooted phone, reset network settings, with no luck.  I even had to backup/delete/restore my whole phone the other day for a different reason, and hoped that would fix it, but now it won't send to my dad OR my husband (who is on not just the same carrier, but the same family plan as me)

  • After I upgraded to Yosemite iphoto can't recognize my backup CDs which were created in iLife09. Ihave the original applications install disk and my old hard drive(I upgraded  to SSD). How do I get a n iphoto back to read by old CDs?

    After I upgraded to Yosemite,iPhoto can't recognize my backup CDs created in iLife 09. The applications install disk won't install iphoto because iphoto 9.5 is already installed..I updated to a SSD and have the original Hard Drive with an updated iphoto which recognized the older CDs(thanks to iphoto expander). I thought that the iphoto that transferred with the new hard drive was the same as what was on the old one. I guess it wasn't. I really need to access my backups.   HELP

    Later version of iPhoto write to the library on opening, and so cannot open libraries on optical media, as that cannot be written to. Further, optical media is going e way of the floppy disk. Therefore, you need to use a different form of archiving and back up going forward.
    To allow iPhoto to open these libraries you need to copy them to your Mac or an attached external disk.
    To merge them into an existing Library will require that you use either Aperture (if you have it) or iPhoto Library Manager.

  • IPhoto can not find several photos, shows icon, but not pic itself and I did not move anything

    I have more then 12'000 photos on iPhoto. After the last update it shows me all pics in the small icons, but when I click on them, severals are not whown - a black background with a grey triangle opens and a "!" in the mid. I suppose this means that iPhoto can not find the data. I already looked into the database and the files are really not there. But I did NOT move them! What happened? What can I do? (I would highly appreciate if I would not have to check every single photo and reimport it again!!!) Thank you in advance for your help!

    Restore from your back up.

    I used migration to send photos form my Mac Book to my I Mac now i get an error message "iPhoto can not be opened because of a problem"  Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Max OSX.  You may need to install any available updates or reinstall IPhoto.
    I tried installing Iphoto it said it was downloaded successfully. I still get the error messafe, and can not open any photos of program,  any suggestions?

    What version of iPhoto do you have on the Macbook and on the iMac? What systems are you running on the Macbook and on the iMac?
    Does the message only refer to "a problem" or does it specify what it is?

  • IPhoto won't run. iPhoto can not run due to an incompatible version of ProKit on this system.

    Eh, See title. When I attempt to run iPhoto it pops up "iPhoto can not run due to an incompatible version of ProKit on this system." So. What's ProKit and...
    I really need iPhoto today, quite urgent. iPhoto worked perfectly fine before the upgrade but now it seems to.. not be compatible. Yes it is the most updated version. I'm about to order a book and I really need to order today. And in other question, (Don't want to make an other one for no reason in the forums) how long does it normaly take for the books to print and arrive in Singapore? Please answer as quick as possible.
    Thanks.

    Did you install any third party software earlier? Pro Kit is a frame work in your system Library that is used by several multimedia applications. If you have an incompatible version, reinstall your system, that should fix it: Use the Client Combo to reinstall:
    Download and reapply the OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo) updater.
    Good Luck!
    And sorry, I do not know anything about the book delivery in Singapore. But you live in a fine city!

  • IPhoto Does Not Recognize File

    No search. I have a file that iPhoto will not recognize. I made a jpeg and tiff, and it will open in Preview and Photoshop, but not iPhoto. Says it doesn't exist, or is corrupt. Neither is true. Any help is appreciated.

    Claude
    Where is the file? Have you put it into the iPhoto Library Folder? iPhoto will not import pics from there - a sensible precaution against duplication.
